This Online catalog of theses and dissertations published at the Middle East Technical University (METU) since April of 2003 was established by the library in order to provide web access to these documents. Students have since been submitting their theses in two formats; paper (hard copy) and Adobe PDF. Due to the university curriculum focusing on English education and interactions, many if not all of the theses and dissertations found will be in English rather than Turkish; certainly the majority of the general collection is English language material, although some is comprised of Turkish language materials.
The library collection is arranged and classified according to the United States Library of Congress Classification System.
Instructions on how to search the database can be found both in Turkish as well as English. It should be noted that the website declares that due to license agreements full-text electronic document access is reserved for METU affiliates only; by searching the catalog at http://library.metu.edu.tr/search, and selecting either the Master's or Ph.D. Thesis database (final image), however, the user may be able to access some of the dissertations and theses online via PDF format with a just few exceptions.
On the other hand, it may be possible to reach an agreement between Inter-Library Loan offices depending on library policies. The user will find, that on the page, http://library.metu.edu.tr/screens/locations.html it states that "Theses are not for loan but some parts can be photocopied, or the electronic version of a thesis can be accessed if the writer permits."
According to the page on the History of the Library, in 2009 there were approximately 16,222 dissertations in the collection - all of which published by the University. The catalog entries include the summaries (or abstracts) of the theses and dissertations in addition to other standard descriptive information. Whether the catalog is searched using the Turkish or English interface, the results and record contents are shown in English. The language of the search terms, subject or keyword, does not appear to affect the relevance of results shown, however the number of titles returned is greater when searching in English.
